All About Pre-school Graduation Concerts
-
For my son’s childcare centre, parents were asked to pay $100 :!: for two costumes because every child would be involved in two plays (one English and one Chinese).
Not sure about the tickets for seats, though. Haven’t heard anything from the centre yet.
I find $100 very expensive, too. -
if it is not compulsory and you feel the pinch, better to save that $200 for better stuff…ie if your kid is not performing too.
one other childcare i heard of is charging $40/ticket for graduation (last year). -
My son’s CCC is charging $65 for 2 tickets with dinner buffet (the concert is held in the school) and costumes FOC.
My girl’s CCC is charging $65 for 2 tickets without any refreshments & $25 per costumes. Since my girl is only in N1, so we decided not to involve in the concert. -
I think ours was $15 or $20 only for seats tickets. Costume rental was $50 but our school had big intake so I suppose there was economies of scale.

my ds2's kindergarten charges $35 for costumes for N1 students. We were thinking of using that money to 'buy' stage experience for him. But the teachers advised me that ds2 is not ready for performance yet :oops: , so i get to save that $$.

ds2's teacher sound quite apologetic when she advised us that ds2 is not ready yet and reassured that practices are only twice a week during curriculum time...i think she worried that we may insist that they let ds2 go on stage.

We paid $55 for a lame costume.... which obviously cannot be worn again.
and the entire stint was like 7 minutes... :roll: Then had to pay $25 dollars
for 2 seats cause only 2 seats allowed per child. :shock: So even if one can
afford one cannot wave cash to get more people in.
But then again, to see one's kid on stage for the first time is priceless. :love:
It is also good to see how much stage presence the child has during that
few minutes. Good opportunity for confidence building... for future major
speeches in parliament! Wuahahahaa! :lol: -
My DD's CCC concert last year was held outside the CCC but still near enough to the CCC. I think each seat was about $20 which included a simple door gift but no refreshments. There was no limit to the no. of seats we could buy so we got 4 for PILs and sashimi and me. We paid for one costume (reasonable price) which was really nice and DD wore it again for Chinese New Year the following year.
The other 2 costumes for a rock n roll dance (the skirt was really colourful!) and a play (animal costume) were rented. I can't remember if we were asked to help pay for the rental of the costumes and props. Also, since my DD was in K2 last year, she had an additional \"costume\", the graduation gown and mortarboard.
All the children from PG right up to BASC performed. sashimi and I felt that the money was well spent as DD enjoyed performing/going up on stage and we enjoyed watching her perform. -
I think we paid $50 for two of us to attend. It was supposed to be $85 including a buffet lunch but a lot of parents protested. When I told my in-laws, they were like "huh?" How come got to pay to attend k2 concert one?
